EDGE STORAGE ARCHITECTURE FOR SECURITY IN WIRELESS SPORTS SCORING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240181321 titled 'EDGE STORAGE ARCHITECTURE FOR SECURITY IN WIRELESS SPORTS SCORING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is for a wireless sport scoring system that involves detecting scoring events between users, transmitting signals to a scoring system, recording scoring events in a memory, and transmitting records to the scoring system.

  • Detect scoring events between users using a sensor on a user device
  • Transmit signals indicating scoring events to a scoring system wirelessly
  • Record scoring events in the memory of the user device
  • Transmit records of scoring events to the scoring system using a wired connection

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various sports and games where real-time scoring is required, such as tennis, basketball, or video game competitions.

Problems Solved

This technology eliminates the need for manual scoring in sports and games, reducing errors and providing accurate and instant scoring results.

Benefits

The system provides real-time scoring updates, enhances user experience, and streamlines the scoring process in competitive activities.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology can be used in sports venues, gaming tournaments, fitness centers, and recreational facilities to improve the scoring process and engage users in a more interactive way.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be electronic scoring systems used in professional sports events, which may not have the wireless and user device integration features described in this patent application.

Unanswered Questions

== How does the system handle multiple scoring events happening simultaneously between different users? The system may have a mechanism to prioritize and process scoring events based on timestamps or user identifiers to avoid confusion and ensure accurate scoring results.

== What is the range of the wireless transmitter in the user device for transmitting scoring signals to the scoring system? The range of the wireless transmitter may vary depending on the technology used, but it is likely optimized for the intended use case, such as a sports field or gaming arena.


Original Abstract Submitted

embodiments of the invention are directed to wireless sport scoring. aspects include detecting, by a sensor of a first user device, a scoring event between a first user and a second user and transmitting, by a wireless transmitter of the first user device, a signal indicating the scoring event to a scoring system. aspects also include recording, in a memory of the first user device, a record of the scoring event and transmitting, by a wired transmitter of the first user device, the record of the scoring event to the scoring system based on detecting a wired connection between the first user device and the scoring system.
